For a little more than a year now, I’ve been following Yasi, the fashion blogger Hello Gorgeous on Instagram. She’s definitely been a style inspiration to me and I’ve always been especially obsessed with her necklaces.

Recently, Yasi announced the opening of her store, Hello Gorgeous Boutique—which sells the iconic necklaces she wears!

I snatched up the Lillian Crystal Necklace, available for $28, from Hello Gorgeous Boutique. Get yours here.

It was my last week before heading to Disney World and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which means it was automatically a good one (even if I did stay home one day this week sick).

PLUS. I MET LAUREN GODDAMN CONRAD. More on that another day, but it was a good fucking week.

Here’s what I wore! (Warning: my pics weren’t so great this week. Sue me.)

I saw this dress and needed it instantly. The colors are so spring-y, and it was absolutely perfect to wear to meet…

LAUREN CONRAD!

AHHHHHHH! My face is the literal epitome of “OHMYGOD.” Like, I could not be smiling any harder (proof that I totally wear my heart on my sleeve). Needless to say, that is not the smile I intended to have in this photo, but I was just so excited to finally meet Lauren Conrad, who I’ve loved since I was in high school, that I couldn’t help it.

I just realized I wore the exact same flats every day this week.

My favorite thing I wore this week was my pink, mint green, and black dress. But I also loved what I wore yesterday, too. It was plain, but I felt cute in it. I’ve had that shirt for a while but didn’t fit into before—and now I do!

It wasn’t feeling like spring, but goddamnit, I was going to force it anyway.

GUYS. These jeggings are my new favorite. I found them at Walmart (I was totally not there to shop for clothes, but these things happen, you know?). I had to resist the urge to buy 20 pairs, mostly because I’m going on vacation soon and really need to not be spending a gazillion dollars on leggings. So, I allowed myself one pair. And guess what? It rang up as $1. The clothes gods were in my favor that day, so now when I wear them, I feel extra great in them. One of my coworkers described them as “like buttah” which I loved, and I told Bill that they felt like wearing a warm hug. So good.

This was my fave outfit of the week. I love this dress! Here’s a close-up of the pattern.

Hearts! And a little bow! Ahhh, I die. My work bestie described these hearts as reminiscent of the Webdings font and she could not have been more accurate.

Primered the dining room because apparently we’re going to be painting this house until I die

Here’s what I wore.

On Sunday, my husband and I celebrated my dog’s fourth birthday with family. Seriously. We had an adorable puppy party where we fed the dogs meatball cupcakes, while the rest of us enjoyed pizza and Boston Creme cake (so delicious). I wish I had a close-up of the shoes; I’ll try to take a photo next time I wear them.

I love the print on this dress, but I wasn’t crazy about my outfit as a whole. I’m not sure the shoes really worked (even though I love them). Ah, well!

It was a pretty great week both at home and at work. Some highlights: my Walt Disney World MagicBands arrived (!!); I bought three new pairs of cute flats; I bought some adorable pins (see my post on Monday for details!); my parents visited and helped my husband and I install all new light fixtures in the house; my husband and I won a court case (against an evil woman who breached a home contract with us); we got tickets to see Neil Degrasse Tyson; and the weather was beautiful.

So, yeah. Good week. Here’s what I wore.

Sudoku dress?! Yes, please. I’ve had this for well over a year, but haven’t worn it in quite some time. (It was a bit too snug for a while.) It fits again, so I get to wear it and bask in all its hipster quirkiness.

I definitely had some spring fever on Wednesday. It was almost 70 degrees and I got to go without leggings for the first time this year. Yesssss!

Oh, yeah, and I took some more fantastic Snapchat photos.

I’m realizing I get all of my clothes from the same places. Perhaps I should branch out?

My outfit had to be a little serious on Thursday because of the whole going-to-court thing. It was also rainy, so I went with mostly black. I should’ve worn some color, though, because we won our case and it made me want to celebrate!

I was super excited to finally wear my kitty watch to work. I made horrible jokes like, “It’s cat-o-clock!” because I am so lame.

I still consider myself relatively new when it comes to wearing scarves. They aren’t exactly my go-to accessory, although I do have an okay collection. I just tend to gravitate to necklaces—or nothing at all—before I opt to wear a scarf.

Part of that is because, aside from infinity scarves, I often don’t know how to wear them. For that reason, this video, which has been floating around the internet since 2011 (long before I was actually into scarves!) remains one of my faves. I love all the creative ways that a scarf can be worn.

I’m loving this warmer weather in New England. Spring is my favorite time for fashion because the colors are always wonderful, I love florals, and it’s finally time to wear dresses without leggings or tights! Here are some of my favorite ways to “wear” spring (inspired by this post).
